L'avevo già ricevuta privatamente, ma sono contento che ora sia pubblica... Estraggo solo alcuni pezzi partendo dal disclaimer: ...This is not an official Microsoft position but just some ramblings from a random person… Passiamo al punto che mi preoccupa meno... Time to ship There's been some feedback that Soma's announcement of "3-4 months to ship SP1" seemed excessive. Shipping an SP is a big effort for us. It might seem like it shouldn’t be, but it is. In particular, this SP is really large. There are a lot of bug fixes and a...

Almeno non da me... La ritengo un'ottima iniziativa, chissà se dovrò cambiare la home del mio nokia da m.gmail.com a www.gmail.mobi... Nearly 3 years ago Microsoft, Nokia and Vodafone started an initiative called the Mobile Top Level Domain. Since then a huge number of partners and what are traditionally competitors have joined this initiative. The Mobile Top Level Domain has now become .Mobi (or dotmobi) and launches today so you can register your domain name with a .mobi extension. Continua alla fonte: Register your .MOBI address today!

Il post è pieno di consigli interessanti, ma è l'ultimo il mio preferito... Limited Hotels with wireless Internet ...Eventually I stumbled across this great solution from Linksys. They offer a Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster. This wonderful device is well worth the price and can be picked up at most Best Buy locations. The first thing I do when I arrive at my hotel room is plug in my travel router. I have it configured with the same wireless security as my wireless network at home. This allow me to access the Internet securely while on the road...

Sarebbe stata la più grossa vaccata del secolo, ma per fortuna l'hanno capito, come indicato da Nick White: Well, this is not the case anymore as Nick White, Microsoft Product Manager revealed on the Windows Vista Team Blog: “we heard you loud and clear when it came to discussing our plans to include a default start-up sound that plays as you boot-up Windows Vista: you said you wanted to have the opportunity to mute it if and when you felt it necessary. Your collective voice truly made a difference in this matter, as we've incorporated a way for users...

Bene... scaldate i download (p.s.comunque vi serve la chiave... ) Well, it's your lucky day - you can now download it, and you don't even have to be on MSDN, CPP, TAP or any of the other programs! It's yours! Take it! Leggete tutto il post perchè è pieno di notizie interessanti... Fonte: Fancy some Vista 5728 action?

Più scavi e più scopri nuove cose interessanti... io tengo tutto su una partizione... ma comunque... buono a sapersi... For as long as I could remember, I always install my OS on the C partition and create another partition for my data. Once the OS was installed I'd go in and redirect a lot of folders to the other partition. That way if I ever needed to re-install, I could blow away C and not lose my data. It was pretty easy to do in XP, but Vista makes it even easier. I discovered this one by accident but...

Secondo me l'ibernazione è una delle cose più comode per i portatili, ma nel caso non vi serva, ecco dove andarla a disabilitare, visto che non c'è più nelle proprietà dell'alimentazione... I was looking for this option for quite sometime... [Immagine tagliata] It is funny that there is no longer an option to turn hibernation off from the Power Options in Control Panel. But besides the Disk Cleanup method to disable the Hibernation. I found another way using the console : powercfg –H off Fonte: Disable Hibernation in Windows Vista

Questa è una grande notizia... così finalmente si potranno buildare con Team Build anche i progetti di setup senza ricorrere a plugin esterni... Rob Mensching writes: Also in 2005, the Visual Studio team approached the core WiX development team about replacing their custom MSI build system with the WiX toolset. Derek was at every meeting with me. Together we answered their questions, discussed timelines and feature requests and ultimately convinced the Visual Studio team to bet on WiX v3 for their next release of Visual Studio. Without Derek's experiences integrating WiX into Office, I'm not sure we could...

Vi consiglio di sbrigarvi se siete ancora indecisi... The registrations are ahead of last year's trend for Tech Ed: IT Forum. If you know that we sold out last year with more than 4.000 attendees ... you know what to do if you want to be there. We are 2 weeks away from early bird (September 29) and knowing that we had a spike of 800 people the last week before the early bird last year ... I am curious to see this year. We expect to sell out earlier than last year. Also the developer event is going stellar....

Se come me vi siete chiesti come configurare Pocket PC e/o Smartphone con Vista RC1, in questo post la risposta... bisogna aspettare ancora un po'... Microsoft released Vista RC1 last week and some of you are already using it. If you use a Pocket PC or Smartphone device, you may be disappointed to find that the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is missing from Vista RC1. I've seen a few posts about this on various forums so I got some clarification from the team working on WMDC...CUT... In order to get full ActiveSync functionality, visit Windows Update when your...

Disponibili per entrambe le versioni. Settimana prossima
le guardo per capire che novità ci sono.
We just published updates to the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) Process Guidance that shipped with Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server. The source files contained in these updates are designed to work with the most recent release of the MSFWinBuild process guidance build tool on GotDotNet. MSF for Agile Software Development - August 2006 MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement - August 2006 Note that these downloads only contain the process
guidance portions of their respective process templates. They are not complete

Io la sto già scaricando... buon download!
James pinged me about a few hours ago to check if we were supposed to tell the world and the answer is yes - RC1 is now available on Connect and will be made available more widely next week. Jim Allchin has released a statement about RC1's completion. A momentous Friday then - Vista is getting closer and if it's better than the 5708 build I've been using for a week, we're in for a treat. Get your ISO (the build is vista_5600.16384.060829-2230 for those interested)...(read more)

La review tradotta automaticamente non è leggibilissima,
ma si capiscono comunque molte cose...
Tom Tom is on the verge of releasing an update to its acclaimed navigation software to version 6. Pocket Info got an early look at the application and found it to be a solid update with great maps and functionality; on the other side, they had hoped for a text-to-speech feature. Read... Read More
